Sure enough, the eldest wife then began to ask Mrs. Li why Princess Yanbei invited Mrs. Rong to be the princess and the guest of honor at the banquet.
Li didn't know much about the inside story between Xianwang's mansion and Yanbei's mansion. She hadn't returned to her parents' house for a long time. The last time she saw Rong's, Rong's didn't mention it to her too much.
So the eldest wife asked for a long time, but she didn't get a reason from Li's mouth.
In the end, the eldest lady smiled and said, "A few days ago, I heard the old lady mention that the third siblings seem to have not returned to their parents' home for a long time?"
Li Shi heard the words and smiled.
The eldest wife said again: "Although the third younger brother and sister has already married into our Ren family, and is a member of our Ren family, but there must be no less contact with your mother's family. Otherwise, when outsiders see it, they think it is our Ren family that is unreasonable. , the daughter-in-law is not allowed to go back to her mother's house to visit relatives."
Li shi lowered her head and said, "Sister-in-law said that I was ill-considered before."
Although Li Shi is indisputable, he is not a dull person. The reason why she didn't go back to her mother's house before was because the Ren family didn't like her going to her mother's house. In the past few years, she would find time every year to go back to Baoping Hu to see her parents, but every time she went back, the old lady Ren was not very happy. The more she understands, she tries not to go back to her parents' home.
Now the eldest wife is saying that she doesn't want to go back to her parents' house, not that the Ren family doesn't like her going back.
However, Mrs. Li was accustomed to obedience and did not refute the words of the eldest wife.
The eldest wife was satisfied when she heard it, and she actually knew in her heart that it was the Ren family who neglected the Li family over the years. However, now that Mrs. Ren and Mrs. Ren seem to be on the verge of recovery, they want to re-operate this in-law relationship, and the Li family is the bridge between the two parties.
Just now, the eldest wife made a statement to test Li's attitude. Seeing that Li was still submissive, she didn't take a sigh of relief because her parents' family had been in the limelight for a while. She felt that she was condemned by the second elder of the Ren family today. The task to come can probably be completed.
So the eldest lady said to Mrs. Li more and more: "Then take the time to take the two children to go back and have a look, and also say hello to Mr. Li and Mrs. Li on behalf of our grandfather and old lady. The old lady also said before, if it is not It's the old man's health, she can't walk away now, and she wants to walk around with her in-laws."
Li also responded, and asked about the condition of Mrs. Ren again.
The eldest lady sighed that Mrs. Ren's body is not as good as before. Although she has not coughed up blood for a while, she always feels tired when she moves. Now most of the family affairs have been handed over to Mr. Ren and Ren Yiyan.
Mrs. Li instructed Mother Zhou to prepare some high-quality medicinal herbs and bring them back to Mrs. Ren later. Although there are not many things, they are also a little thought from the three-house grandson.
After that, the eldest wife stayed for lunch.
After lunch, before leaving, the eldest wife took Mrs. Li aside to talk, this time avoiding sisters Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua.
After sending the eldest wife out, the mother and daughter returned to the main room, and Ren Yaohua asked, "Mother, what did the eldest aunt tell you just now?"
Hearing this, Li sighed, and took out a red woven gold purse from his sleeve: "Sister-in-law said that the old lady asked her to send it."
Ren Yaohua took the purse in Li's hand and weighed it in his hand. The purse was not small, but very light. Ren Yaohua opened the purse, but when he took out the contents, he said "Hey".
Ren Yaoqi, who was sitting beside Ren Yaohua, turned to look, and saw that Ren Yaohua took out a pair of silver notes with a face value of one thousand taels from his purse.
Ren Yaohua counted, looked up and said, "Twenty thousand taels? This is it?"
Li said: "The old man said that your grandfather's family had a lot of entertainment during this period of time, and there must be no lack of human exchanges, so he asked the old lady to take some money out to me, and let me give it to your grandfather, lest they I'm stretched thin. I also said that if I don't have enough money in the future, I'll go to your uncle."
When Li Shi said this, there was no joy on his face. Ren's house has been cold to her and her parents' home for so many years, and now she is suddenly asked to return to her parents' home, and it is for money, and she knows what it is for.
Ren Yaoqi said, "What else did auntie say? Does grandma have anything for you to do?"
Mr. Li folded the twenty banknotes and put them back in his purse. He sighed softly, "It's nothing to do, I just let me take you to visit my grandfather's house if I have nothing to do..."
"And by the way, would you like to inquire about Xianwang's mansion and Yanbei's mansion?" Ren Yaoqi said with a light smile.
No one knows better than Ren Yaoqi what kind of abacus Mr Ren is playing.
Since the Ren family can use Fang Yacun to climb up to the people in the palace, they will naturally be able to come back and be close to King Xian's mansion. If King Xian's family is really likely to recover, the in-laws of the Ren family will naturally follow suit.
Ren Yaoqi glanced at the purse in Li's hand, and sneered in his heart that the Ren family's money was not so easy to get.
Ren Yaohua frowned and said, "Then these silver... Mother, do you really want to send it over there?"
Ren Yaohua didn't like her grandfather's family, and she wouldn't like them whether they would recover or not.
Li thought for a while and said, "When your father comes back, let me ask him what he means. If he thinks it's not right, he won't send it."
It is not clear whether the Xian Wang Mansion has money or not. Even if the Xian Wang Mansion has money, they would not dare to spend it. This is also the reason why the Li family has been supporting her parents' family all these years, because even if King Xian still has some family background that has not been revealed, it will give the imperial court an impression that they are exhausted.
But this time, the Ren family took the initiative to give Li's money to help her mother's family, but she didn't dare to ask for it. There is no pie in the sky, this is something that a three-year-old knows.
As for whether the silver should be sent to the Xian Wangfu, Ren Yaoqi felt that it was not a question of whether the Ren family should send it, but whether the Xian Wangfu would accept it or not.
Today, Ren Yaoqi has seen that Xianwangfu will definitely not be willing to stay in Yanbei for a lifetime, and there will definitely be some big moves in the future. As for a relative like the Ren family, even if the Xian Wangfu does not want to recognize it again, there is nothing to accuse. It's just that you are in the first year of junior high school, and I am only the fifteenth.
So when Mr. Li said that he wanted to ask Mr. Ren San, Ren Yaoqi didn't say anything.
In the evening, after Ren Shimin came back, Mrs. Li told him that the eldest wife had come over today. Ren Shimin didn't like the Yue family either, and it had nothing to do with the downfall of the Xian Wangfu. He just didn't like the way his father-in-law and brother-in-law were, and felt that Taoism was different.
However, Ren Shimin didn't care about money. Although he knew that Li's family had secretly subsidized her family over the years, he didn't say anything. It is because of this that Mammy Zhou has nothing to say to the uncle Ren Shimin.
So I heard that Mrs. Ren gave Li's silver to her husband, but he didn't express any opinion, just let Li's make his own decision.
Li thought about it, and finally decided to take her two daughters back to her parents' home.
So the next day, Mrs. Li asked people to prepare the carriage and some gifts, and then took sisters Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoqi back to their parents' house.
Seeing Li's return, King Xian and Mrs. Rong were very happy. King Xian also pushed others to invite him to go fishing, and decided to meet his long-lost daughter at home. Li Tianyou was called back when he went out.
"Father, mother..." After saluting with her two daughters, Mrs. Li looked at King Xian and his wife and called out. Before the words were spoken, tears flowed out first.
Although Li met Rong not long ago, she hadn't returned to her parents' home for many years, and she couldn't control her emotions.
Seeing Mrs Li so distressed, Mrs Rong pulled her to sit down on the kang, and said angrily, "It's good to be back, why are you crying? Didn't you see the children watching? It's not ashamed!" In this way, her eyes were red.
But King Xian sighed and got up to go out.
"Father..." Li Shi was a little at a loss, thinking that Li Gan was angry with her and wanted to leave.
Li Gan stopped, turned his head and smiled at Mrs Li: "You talk, I'll go ask if there is any dish you like to eat today."
Li's tears broke into a smile: "Dad, do you still remember what your daughter likes to eat?"
"Naturally remember, you like to eat candied gourd the most. When you were a child, I kept away from your mother and let the guards secretly take you out to buy it several times. Later, your grandmother found out and punished us not to eat candied gourd for three years. So I have hated you for a long time." Li Gan said jokingly.
Li was a little embarrassed to be teased in front of her daughter.
However, Ren Yaoqi thought that she had never noticed before that Xianwang's family had the warmth of ordinary family members behind them.
After Li Gan went out, Mr. Rong carried Mr. Li on the kang to speak.
After a few chats, Mrs. Rong asked Mrs. Li about the purpose of her visit today.
In front of his mother, Mrs. Li had nothing to hide, so she told Mrs. Rong that the second elder of the Ren family had asked the eldest wife to come to her.
After hearing this, Mr. Rong was not surprised, but smiled: "Your husband's family is very generous."
At this time, he heard Li Gan's voice ringing at the door: "You should return the silver to them first."
When everyone heard the words, they turned their heads and looked at the door.
I saw Li Gan and Li Tianyou, each of them walking in with three or four strings of candied haws in their hands. Li Tianyou's mouth was still stuffed with a mouthful of hawthorn, and he was looking for a place to vomit.
